I haven't looked at a tenth of everything on each site, but that tells you there is a LOT of information out there in web-ville. These are, probably, excellent sites you can use to help learn and understand the material this year. Largely I will be relying on you to give me feedback - if I notice something particularly helpful and pertinent I'll try to mention it.
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01-single-variable-calculus-fall-2006/video-lectures/ - The video lectures from the 2007 single variable calculus course at MIT. YOu may skip lecture 7 and 23 - they are not covered on the AP exam .... Parts of a few other lectures may be skipped but I don't know how to convey that - so just resign yourself to being smarter than you need to be! Link added Nov 2010
Adrian Banner's video review
You can also get to this site from the URL www.calclifesaver.com and click on lectures. There are 24 'chapters', each about 2 hours long. I took a look at The Calculus Lifesaver this summer, and thought it was pretty good as a supplement (but not for our test preparation, for which we'll use Barron's this year). I was so impressed with some of the explanations and approaches that I assume the videos will be good. Please give me feedback!!
Visual Calculus
"A collection of modules that can be used in the studying or teaching of calculus". The modules are different types of things - you are presented with a list and short description, and you decide which ones to go to. Some are very well done; the usefulness varies. It doesn't seem to be supported anymore, but University of Tennesee - Knoxville is keeping them around. These were very highly regarded at one time. Again - let me know the usefulness.
Calculus: Modeling and Application
An online 'next generation' textbook from David A. Smith and Lawrence C. Moore. The text is best viewed (they claim) with Mozilla Firefox. I'm not saying I believe this, but the idea of an online text sounded interesting - they control the windows, and sometimes want several windows open at once for (I assume) animations and pictures and what-not. So, strictly speaking these aren't video like the rest of the stuff. Maybe I'll move this description when I figure this thing out.
The Two Questions of Calculus - More Edward Burger with Thinkwell (see next paragraph). A great introduction to the ideas of calculus.
Calculus in 20 minutes - part 1 and Calculus in 20 minutes - part 2 - Dr. Edward Burger (Williams College) presents the entire AB curriculum (within reason) in 2 ten minute video segments on YouTube. (a) This is an impressive accomplishment. (b) I love this guy! ... but this link is dead ... Try this one!
Selwyn Hollis calculus videos - (University of Houston). This is a well organized collection of short videos (nothing fancy - just the basic information). This could be a nice basis for a review.
